| One of the questions we get asked at J-List a lot is, "I want to start learning Japanese, what book do you recommend?" Most textbooks are entirely dry, uninteresting, and cannot follow a student's pace, leaving students frustrated. However, a new series by The Japan Times has recently taken Japanese language for foreigners by storm, and comes highly recommended by anyone who has taken it -- Genki, An Integrated Course in Elementary Japanese. The entire course has 23 lessons, guiding the student from the beginning until the student has mastered elementary grammar and can read not only hiragana and katakana but over 300 of the most commonly used kanji as well. Each lesson has: 1) a dialogue introducing vocabulary and grammar in a situation the student may find familiar; 2) a list of the vocabulary with hiragana, katakana, kanji and English meaning; 3) grammar with full explanations in English; 4) interesting usage notes; 5) several pages of practice questions designed to be fun and interesting incorporating dialogue skills, writing skills, and thinking skills; 6) additional vocabulary. Each lesson also has a complementary lesson in hiragana/katakana/kanji, with reading and writing exercises. The separate workbook has more writing exercises and kanji writing practice. This is simply the recommended textbook for anyone beginning Japanese up to 3rd level in the JLPT. THIS BOOK: This book is the answer key book containing all the answers to both Genki I and Genki II, for both the workbook and textbook. All the exercises are answered here, with page numbers corresponding to their place in the Genki workbooks and textbooks. Furthermore, this book contains the complete transcriptions to the listening sections of the workbook. This is a necessary companion for those doing self-study with the Genki workbook/textbook for those who want to check their answers by themselves. 7" x 10" (18 x 25.5 cm) 72 pages, card cover perfectbound.

THIS BOOK: This book is textbook I, starting from no knowledge to knowing hiragana, katakana and the first 145 kanji. Romanization of Japanese is used in the first two lessons to help students unfamiliar with hiragana and katakana, but soon tries to ween the student off romanization. Has Lessons 1 - 12 and follows the structure as written above. Indexes are in the back as well as tables for numbers, counters and verb conjugations. 7" x 10" (18 x 25.5 cm) 344 pages, card cover perfectbound. A teaching guide is included.
